If you didn’t buySonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection, shame on you. Seriously. It’s a beautiful time capsule letting you experience firsthand in high definition and surround sound what things were like in a simpler, arguably better, time for gaming, before the console war was determined by sales numbers.

Even better news is that all of these games will arrive early for PlayStation Plus subscribers, for free.
